Features & Capabilities

Pure URL is a Chrome extension designed to automatically remove tracking and analytics parameters such as "utm_source", "utm_medium", "utm_campaign", and others from URLs. These tracking parameters are commonly used by services like Google Analytics, Yandex Metrika, and Facebook to collect user data. By stripping out these "garbage" fields, Pure URL helps maintain user privacy and creates cleaner, more readable URLs. This extension works seamlessly in the background, ensuring that any shared or visited URLs are free from unnecessary tracking codes without any manual intervention.

With Pure URL, users can browse the web and share links without exposing tracking information, enhancing privacy and reducing clutter. It supports removal of common analytics parameters like fb_action_ids, yclid, utm_term, and more, making it an essential tool for privacy-conscious users and anyone looking to easily obtain clean URLs.

Is Pure URL Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Pure URL requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
